Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 End of my fourth season, saw Dortmund had a vacancy, knew I'd get it so applied then offered contracts to my key players with a minumum release fee to foreign clubs of 10k a pop. Went to Germany and waited for them to accept the offers agreed before I left, then snapped up half my Vienna squad for a pittance. I'm a bad nonce but that'll teach you not to give me more physios you Austrian turds.
Stadt Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 I hate only bring allowed one first team coach, the youth team one is better as well
SomalianFox15 Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 After 7 hard seasons I've finally won the conference with Luton
Des. Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 After 7 hard seasons I've finally won the conference with Luton Congrats! They actually kept you on for that long without the sack?
SomalianFox15 Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 Congrats! They actually kept you on for that long without the sack? Yep, Made the playoffs in all 7 seasons so im guessing thats why.
Haydos Posted 19 August 2014 Posted 19 August 2014 You know when there's an 18 year old who is far too good for his age, that you're on the brink of signing, but you have a DoF who does your transfer deals for young players and offers them far less than they should be on (according to the game), it happens twice and when you finally take charge of it yourself, he doesn't want to talk to you - how long is it before he loses his attitude and wants to talk to you again should you have an offer accepted? Because my DoF's utter incompetence is about to prevent me signing Dorin Rotariu. You know you can change it so you offer the contracts instead right?
Dan Posted 19 August 2014 Posted 19 August 2014 You know you can change it so you offer the contracts instead right? Yes I do, I just didn't realise my DoF would make such a cock up of things and then do it a second time despite me changing the responsibilities. I'll live. We're walking the league.
Grewks Posted 20 August 2014 Posted 20 August 2014 Won Promotion with Brighton first season Via the Play-offs, with Ulloa top scoring. 20 mil budget to spend in the prem, with which i bought - David Ospina (Free) - Now a 'leading premier league' player, quality keeper. Nemanja Vidic (Free) - Wasn't willing to talk to me until january despite his contract ending in june, got him on a player/assistant manager to U18's contract. Dan Burn (1.8m, with appearance add-ons) - Quality young center half, future vidic. Giuseppi Bellusci (3m with appearance add-ons) - Already a 'leading center half after his first season. Jesper Juelsgard (1m cash) - Still finding his feet, but looks a good back-up option. Leroy Fer - Already a 'Leading premier league midfielder', very consistent 6.9/7 performer, crucial to any side. Moses Odubajo - young lad, scored a winner against chelsea, but one for the future, and one i need to change my style if i want him to play more. Orhan Ademi - After scoring 16 goals for the team relegated bottom of the bundesliga i decided to pick him up. Only scored 5 in 28 so far, but he is improving a lot, only 23 as well. Might loan him out if i can get my 2 striking targets in. I usually play a 4-1-3-2 ..............................................Ospina Chicksen.......Vidic.................................Belluschi......Taylor-sinclair .............................................R.Ince ....................Mellis...............Merida...........Fer ......................Ademi...........................Ulloa First season in the prem, currently seventh with 2 games left. 2 points behind spurs, who i play away on the last day, QPR (H) next whilst I am attending the Leicester v Spurs game a week before i kick-off, cmon City. Already agreed deals with ipswich and watford for Creswell and Forrestieri at the end of the season for a combined £5 mil. Also looking to sign.... 2 of Josef Martinez, Libor Kozak, Carlos Bacca 2 of Sergio Canales, Jesus Corona, Ricardo Alvarez, Georgio Wijnaldum 2 of Federico Bravo, Jordy Clasie, Tom Cairney 1 of Sam Byram, Adam Matthews Hopefully line-up like this next year....... ................................Ospina .Matthews...Vidic..................Belluschi...Creswell .............................Bravo/Ince ..................Clasie.................Fer ...........................Wijnaldum ..................Bacca.................Ulloa Fancy my chances of europe to be honest, might even get it this year.
Dan Posted 21 August 2014 Posted 21 August 2014 Ospina's a very decent goalkeeper. Got him for Lyon. I have never had any success with 4-1-2-1-2. Get Wijnaldum signed by the way. He was class for me.
Richard Posted 22 August 2014 Posted 22 August 2014 I'm only ever successful with 4-2-2-1 (I.e 452) Never managed a good save with any other formation bar one where I tried to recreate our 442/4231 from last season
Stadt Posted 22 August 2014 Posted 22 August 2014 I'm only ever successful with 4-2-2-1 (I.e 452) Never managed a good save with any other formation bar one where I tried to recreate our 442/4231 from last season You're supposed to have 11 men on the pitch
Fox92 Posted 22 August 2014 Posted 22 August 2014 Just had my first ever red card rescinded, wooo I had that yesterday, too. Thought it wasn't possible.
Richard Posted 22 August 2014 Posted 22 August 2014 You're supposed to have 11 men on the pitch 4-1-2-2-1 my bad Or maybe that's why I was struggling so much...
Stadt Posted 22 August 2014 Posted 22 August 2014 4-1-2-2-1 my bad Or maybe that's why I was struggling so much... You said you only win when you play 452!
Richard Posted 22 August 2014 Posted 22 August 2014 You said you only win when you play 452! I'm just gonna give up
Dan Posted 22 August 2014 Posted 22 August 2014 10 men or 12 You mean like... GK RD - CD - CD - LD CDM CM - CM RAM ------------- LAM ST That probably brings me the most success on this game.
Fox92 Posted 22 August 2014 Posted 22 August 2014 Got offered the Liverpool job. Took it. In January. They are bottom of the league Expectations to "avoid relegation" but the job is way bigger. Wages are ridiculous and are impacting who I can bring in (nobody). The goalkeeper is shit, literally League One standard, but I can't afford to bring another one in so I'm stuck with him and conceding shit goals. Managed to guide them to, and finish the season, mid table. Got to the FA Cup final as well but lost 1-2 to Newcastle. Got a massive job on of overhauling the squad now it's summer. Might spend a bit as well.
Grewks Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 Thanks to a couple of miraculous results Brighton finished the season in sixth, clinching European football. The summer saw a number of players leave, no longer deemed good enough by the management, leaving was club legend Gordon Greer. However, Mr Manager had now built his reputation to such a level, the fans trusted his judgement. The summer saw a number of targets joining other clubs. The Clubs number one target, 22 year old Josef Martinez from Young Boys, was acquired for a small £3.5 mil. Other summer acquisitions included - Aaron Creswell, Celso Borges, Will Hughes, Clement Grenier, and Fernando Forestieri. After experimenting over the summer with a more 'traditional system', Mr Manager was concerned with the lack of football on display. Therefore, when the competitive season came around, it was time to go 'back to basics'. After a comprehensive 5-1 Qualifying victory over an unknown danish side, Brighton were through to the Europe league knockout round, facing Swedish giants AIK, made all the more difficult by their opening 6 fixtures. Liverpool(H) AIK (A) Arsenal(A) AIK(H) Aston Villa (H) Man City(H) Much to the surprise of management and players alike, Brighton managed to both qualify (4-1 Agg) and take a possible 10 points from 12 , after nicking a point late on against arsenal. With Clement Grenier yet to play due to a broken ankle, and a back strain keeping leroy fer out for up to 5 weeks, Brighton were managing to be extremely successful despite missing their best central midfield partnership, being what is known in the business as 'Jameswatered'.
Dan Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 Grenier is superb. He's probably my best player at Lyon.
Grewks Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 Grenier is superb. He's probably my best player at Lyon. He won't fit in at the minute, neither will Fer. For some reason Mellis is just tearing teams apart for the last 12-14 months. Whilst Borges, unwanted by west brom, and merida, unwanted by a small spanish side are just completely dominating matches. Probably helps having Josef Martinez up top, check him out.
Grewks Posted 23 August 2014 Posted 23 August 2014 And then it arrived. A day never before seen for Brighton fans, european football - the group stage. Dnipro, a side containing a couple of players rumoured to be linked with Brighton in the summer, were the visitors. However, once again, they were met with a side that were more than a match for man city and liverpool in previous weeks. After just 37 minutes Brighton were three up. A header from Giuseppi Bellusci, rumoured to be getting an italy call up, opened the scoring, before 2 cool finished from merida and ulloa put the seagulls infront. Although, as with every other match i go 3 up on this game, the opposition came back into it, scoring their only 2 efforts, before ulloa netted the fourth and killed the game.Allowing Brighton to rest Merida, borges and mellis for their next league match, whilst giving game time to will hughes, fernando forestieri and leroy fer. The future for this brighton side is most certainly bright. With rumours linking the club with january moves for both mario suarez of atletico madrid, and carlos bacca of sevilla. Will probably go..... ...........................Ospina ..chicksen.....Belluschi............Burn.......creswell ..........................m.Suarez ................Mellis.....Grenier...Fer ...................Martinez.........Bacca ......Vidic, Juelsgard, Hughes, merida, borges, ulloa, ademi

Grewks Posted 24 August 2014 Posted 24 August 2014 How can i win 4 games in a row, including an away european tie and outplay man city and liverpool to beat them 1-0 and 2-0....then lose 4-0 at newcastle and draw 0-0 at newly promoted norwich? I want the Liverpool job, but no bugger is taking me seriously. I finished above them last season with Brighton ffs.
RonnieTodger Posted 25 August 2014 Posted 25 August 2014 Left Leeds and took over Millwall who were doomed to relegation with 7 games left. (8 points behind 21st). Managed 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats to stay up after an 84th minute Scott McDonald winner against Charlton. Great stuff.
